Is There Anything Besides Pain Medication That I Can Do For Sciatica During Pregnancy?
|
Yesterday, my baby moved into a funny position and since then I have been having the worst sciatica. I have pain running from the back of my leg up to the middle of my back. I've tried tylenol, but that barely takes the edge off. Is there anything else I can do to relieve some of the pain from sciatica during pregnancy?

I will advice you to seek advice from your midwives as they are those who induce labor, they may have an information about it.
In the second place, you have to go to hospital and see your doctor and explain the problem before him, he may be in good position to give the best answer because he is a specialist in that field.

try to heat you back with some electric pillow or something very warm to stop the pain.
I had some back problems myself and i stopped them with electric pillow on my back.
it is safer then all pills and creams that are on the market.
And also try not to move very much.

Hi there. During the last trimester I also had sciatica. But as much as possible, I avoid taking in medicines. And so I go for alternative ways on how to relieve the pain somehow. I avoid lying flat during bed time. And I make sure that I have a pillow if not under my legs I place it in between my legs. I always limit my walking exercises, because I notice that prolonged walks intensifies the pain. Still make sure you can distinguish sciatica from labor pains ok? Take good care and congratulations!

hello there, and sorry to hear that you got to experience the sciatica pain in that time, so you must consult your doctor and he or she will give you the options that fit better your case now, many doctors give you a list of exercises to be made at home to help the relief of pain, some believes that accunputure can helps, chiropratice as well, and in some cases the theraphy massage can be recomended as well, but is always better check your doctor opinion before pick some option. Good lucky and happy pregnancy.
